Making automator repeat an action every 30 minutes

Hi is there any way you can make automator repeat an action e.g. click a web page button, every 30 minutes. I can make it push the button but can't do the timing part

You can also use the sleep shell script in a loop.

  • Repeated Blocked calls every five minutes

    This began last night just after midnight - a call from a blocked number which I did not answer. Seconds after, another which I answered and to which there was no response. I ignored the rest - seven total. It happened again this afternoon with a total of nine calls. Telemarketer Robo calls gone awry?

        Hello Rainynckl
    That would be very frustrating. Are they still coming in? You can add a feature to block unknown calls. Learn about it here: https://wbillpay.verizonwireless.com/vzw/nos/safeguards/safeguardLandingPage.action Our we can change your mobile number for free to end this harassment.

  • Strange "twanging" noise every few minutes

    My iPad is making a strange "twanging" noise every few minutes and I can't seem to find the reason for this.  It is driving me and my whole family crazy.  What can be causing this?  I tthought it was some sort of alert, but can't find the source.

    It's almost certainly an app alert. Go to Settings, Notifications and see which apps are yelling at you. ry switching them al to OFF, then re-enabling them one by one

  • Repeat every X minutes w/o multiple events

    Is there any way to get an event to repeat faster than 1 day? For example. I want something to repeat every 10 minutes. Is there a way to do this without creating multiple events?

    I'm seeing this behaviour, too. In my case, it happens with a recurring meeting.

    In past discussions about this message, I have never seen an easy solution. Arguably it should be made a user preference: those who prefer to be warned about the risk that they will double-submit a transaction or instruction on a poorly designed site can have their warning, and those who prefer to take their chances can take their chances. Not sure whether that is on anyone's "to do" list.

  • BPEL process on error retrying self after every 5 minutes (no fault policy)

    Hi All
    We are facing very strange issue in one of our BPEL processes (we are using Oracle SOA Suite 11.1.1.3 on linux with 2 soa servers in cluster). The composite consists of a web service binding followed by a mediator which routes to three different BPEL processes (operational routing). This is all one way.
    Inside the BPEL we are throwing a bpel rollback fault in the catch all to roll back any pending database changes. As soon as the error comes, In the composite diagram i can see multiple BPEL instances under the mediator and they keep on coming after every 5 minutes (basically i see two BPEL instances with a gap of one second and this pair keeps on repeating every 5 minutes)
    Also we have a send email in the catch all and the email we get has a different composite id in every mail. However in the em i can see only one composite id (the first one when the error came) with multiple BPEL diagrams in it.
    We are not sure what is causing the error?
    1) Is it the one way mediator routing to 3 BPEL processes as per the operation invoked?
    2) Is there something wrong with clustering?
    3) Is there a problem with version 11.1.1.3?
    Please help as we are struck and not able to move to INT.
    Thanks and Regards

    Hi Anuj
    Thanks for the reply again. Using the below property seems to work, but it is making the call sync (i get an empty fault in SOAP-UI) and my java client also waits for the response.
    <component name="abcd">
    <implementation.bpel src="abcd.bpel"/>
    <property name="bpel.config.oneWayDeliveryPolicy" many="false" type="xs:string">sync</property>
    <property name="bpel.config.transaction" many="false" type="xs:string">required</property>
    </component>
    As i told that this is a long running process (could easily take 3-4 hours), i cant afford to wait for this (should be fire and forget).
    1) Is there a way, i can make it fire and forget and also stop the recovery using the properties you just told?
    2) If there is no way out, i can remove the throw rollback fault in catch all, but i want the composite instance to be shown as red (i will take care of the rollbacks in db in code). I tried using the terminate activity but that doesn't make it red (like it used to be in 10g). Is there a way to mark the instance as red without throwing an uncaught fault?
    Please let me know. Thanks
    Also regarding the patch, if we apply it, will it still recover the BPEL instance? I mean the BPEL is throwing a rollback fault and is being exactly retried 50 times with a gap of 5 minutes (default settings in em console, not touched at all). Every time it runs it would throw the same fault again (as it reads and deletes a control file, so in successive runs that control file will not be there) leading to rollback error being thrown from catch all during automatic retry.

  • DW CS3 slows to crawl every few minutes

    Every few minutes as I am using Dreamweaver CS3 (under Vista
    SP1), the program becomes unresponsive and my processor maxes out
    (the Task Manager shows DW as hogging the CPU). I wait for what
    seems like minutes -- but is probably only a few seconds -- and I
    get control again. It happens repeatedly but I have not timed the
    intervals between them to see if it is a consistent time. It seems
    as thought Dreamweaver is busy doing something but, for the life of
    me, I don't know what as it happens regardless if I've made any
    changes to files or not -- it happens if I just sit there and watch
    it. Anyone else have this problem? Gord

    This problem has plagued me since CS3's release. I have three
    different
    workstations, two on XP Pro and another with Vista and it's
    the same
    regardless. If you google for "dreamweaver cs3 slow" you will
    find lots of
    hits, especially with Macs, however I don't have a mac. There
    is a KB
    document that tries to blame your antivirus for scanning all
    the .js files
    that Dreamweaver uses making it slow, however, excluding
    those files from my
    resident scanner never changes anything. Also, Dreamweaver 8
    runs like a
    champ and I continue to use that on each of my workstations.
    I feel rather cheated since I was really wanting to
    experiment with SPRY on
    CS3, however, since CS3 is such a dog, I have never had the
    chance. Now I'm
    looking at alternative AJAX libraries and Aptana instead.
    Also, they got my
    agency's money already for 5 licenses of CS3, but I never
    OK'd it for use by
    the rest of the web team so everyone remains on version 8.0
    for now and I'm
    currently evaluating CF Eclipse as an alternative. The only
    thing that was
    holding me back before was I occasional use the GUI layout in
    DW but Eclipse
    3.4 has added that feature. I'd have stayed with DW if only
    CS3 worked.

  • My iMac running 10.7.5 has suddenly developed the habit of asking for my keychain password every 10 minutes or so.  iTunes, mail and airport are the usual requesters.  I have not recently changed my password.

    My iMac running 10.7.5 has suddenly developed the habit of asking for my keychain password every 10 minutes or so.  iTunes, mail and airport are the usual requesters. It's making me nuts!  And no, I have not recently changed my password to start this new issue.

    Try running Keychain First Aid on your keychain or just rese your Keychain to create another keychain to see if that resolves the issue of the repeated prompts for the password.

  • Clicking sound that the iMac hard drive makes every 10 minutes or so when in Sleep Mode.

    My iMac is 2 years old.  I have noticed that when I put it to sleep, the hard drive makes a
    clicking noise every 5-10 minutes.  I had my Lacie hard drive set up for Time Machine, but
    the iMac also seemed to be making the Lacie whir every so many minutes, too.  I have since
    temporariily shut off my Lacie, but the clicking sound persists.  It also seems to me that at
    times the hard drive also is trying to "run" or activate momentarily. 
    I never hear the clicking noise when I am using my iMac.
    I read many posts about other iMac owners having a similar problem.  One "suggestion" was that
    the iMac is not really in sleep mode.  I don't understand that since I use the Sleep prompt under
    the Apple O.S. Icon.  I read somewhere else that the clicking is the cooling of metal, or something
    like that.  That seems a "reach" to me.
    Any suggestions (or directing me to a thread that specifically addresses this issue) would be
    much appreciated.
    In any case, if I need to call Apple Tech (I have 1 year left on my warranty coverage), I would like
    to know if they have probably encountered this problem.  Also, what would be a good way to explain
    the issue, if you can advise me on that.
    Thanks!

    I have since called Apple Support about the problem.  They did not solve it, but did offer to call back.  I was unable to be home for the call back.  I will call them again, but they did not seem to be aware of any "clicking" problems the iMacs were having.
    I timed the clicking noises while the iMac was in Sleep mode; it is every 2 minutes almost consistently. (Not the 5-10 I mentioned in my first post.) Also, it then has a slight "whirring" sound after the "click" or "ping" as if it is trying to process something.
    My iMac does not make the clicking/pinging noise while not in Sleep mode.
    I have searched the Net and these forums repeatedly trying to find someone who has had a similar "clicking" sound.  One fellow suggested his hard drive clicked in Sleep mode because it was looking for a printer.  That is not the problem I am having, since all printer jobs have been completed.
    If any of you could help me on this or direct me to a thread that addresses the issue, I would appreciate it immensely. 
    Thanks.

  • Mac Mini Connected to TV Causes Blank Pauses every ten minutes

    I hope someone can help with a small but frustrating issue I'm having.
    I have a Mac Mini (2011) hooked up to a new 1080p television. The mini goes via HDMI straight to the TV, no adapters. The mini is also connected to a regular computer monitor simultaneously, set to mirror.
    Until this week, I had an identical setup with an older, smaller hd television, where the mini was connected to the TV with an HDMI -> DVI adapter and also to the same second monitor. The TV was off most of the time, I only turned it on to watch a movie off my hard drive or whatever.
    Here's the problem: When the new TV is OFF, every ten minutes or so with the monitor goes blank and resets, as if someone unplugged the HDMI connection and then plugged it back in the quickly. While this happens the Mac is frozen for about 5 seconds. I can reproduce the same effect by actually unplugging the HDMI wire. It is also the same pause that happens when I change the monitor and TV displays from mirroring to non-mirroring (side-by-side).
    This only happens when the TV is off. If the TV is on, there is no issue.
    I'd like to be able to sit at my desk using the monitor without the TV screen on, as I was able to do with my older television. I never had this problem with that TV over many months.
    Is there any kind of setting change that might help?
    I'm guessing the TV being off causes the HDMI connection to be occasionally lost and then the MAC resumes/redetects the TV, triggering the display to reset, but I think it is odd that this only happens after the thing has been off for ten minutes (and then repeats regularly). I've fiddled with the power options and energy saving settings on the TV, none of them seem to have any effect. Is there anything I can do on the Mac side? The only other option I can think of is to actually unplug the TV when I'm not using it, but that would get old fast.
    Any advice would be appreciated. I've tried turning off mirroring, turning the TV off while not having the HDMI input active at that moment, and turning off all power saving options on the TV. I expect this is more a "tv problem" than a Mac problem, but it can't hurt to ask.

    I couldnt get it to work even though I tried disconnecting an connecting the modules again. When I replaced the 4gb modules with the ones that came with the computer it started working perfectly.
    Does this mean that one of the modules might be damaged? I am going to try connecting one of the factory ram and one of the ones I bought to see which is the one that doesn't work and see if I can replace it.
    Thank you so much

  • How can I display summary for every 15 minutes using DATE datatype

    This is probably an easy question, but the answer eludes me...
    I am trying to write a SQL report that displays aggregate totals for every 15 minute period. I know you can do something like this to get every minute:
    select to_char(import_date,'MM-DD-YYYY HH24:MI'),
    count(*) from
    package_ingest
    group by to_char(import_date,'MM-DD-YYYY HH24:MI')
    But how can I change this query so that I get every 15 minutes?
    Any feedback is greatly apprecaited!
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    GROUP BY  TRUNC (SYSDATE) + FLOOR ( (import_date - TRUNC (SYSDATE))
                                          * 24
                            * 4
                            )SYSDATE is an arbitrary reference point. It doesn't matter if import_date is earlier or later (or sometimes earlier and sometimes later).
    If you want to display this in the SELECT clause, or use it in the ORDER BY clause, then repeat the expression there, or compute it once in a sub-query.
    WITH  got_i_d_15     AS
         SELECT     TRUNC (SYSDATE) + FLOOR ( (import_date - TRUNC (SYSDATE))

  • LaserJet 200 M276nw works for a week or so then starts intializin​g every 5 minutes.

    Hi, I am now on my third laserjet 200 M276nw in less than a month. I've never seen any company as incompetent as HP.... nobody can figure this out,, all I have available is Indian Phone Centers... they only read and reread the same scripts to me over and over and then want to replace my brand new, expensive laser printer with a refurbished one. I just want one that works and doesn't "Initialize" every 5 minutes on the minute,, it's more accurate than Big Ben but never stops whining and squealing,, night and day. I'm running out of options,, HP is about to lose my business forever... not gonna let my 30 day trial skip into their 1 year warranty or I'll be stuck with a refurbished/someone else's problem.  Must be something simple or something I'm not seeing,, read everything I can find, but this seemingly is only happening to me??? WEIRD,, can't imagine getting 3 "OR MORE" of a defective product in a row.
    ANY HELP OR IDEAS would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    >> ... plugged my router back in... still nothing.
    >> ... Turned both iphones back on, waited,, nothing.
    >> ... Turned on the laptop,, nothing ...
    >> ... Now, before I turned on my desktop which is the main computer I figured i'd best reboot the printer to make sure
    >> it's not the laptop. When I turned the printer back on,, it initialized and then again at 5 minute intervals ...
    The fact that the printer did not re-initialise with the various computing devices switched off would seem to imply that the re-initialise action is triggered by something on one of the devices, and is not inherent to the printer itself.
    The fact that this action didn't happen when the laptop was switched on (even after waiting at least 5 minutes?), but did start again when the printer was then power-cycled may perhaps be because the laptop didn't recognise that the printer was there until the printer reboot triggered some interrupt within the laptop operating system.
    >> ... had an Error 49 earlier this afternoon and it shut itself down,, didn't  mention it before but haven't had one since ...
    So are you saying that the 5-minute occurrences are not each preceded by an error 49.xx being reported (bearing in mind that it may flash up on the display and disappear very quickly)?
    And can you confirm that it IS re-initialising each time (the display will presumably indicate this) rather than just entering a cleaning or calibration cycle?

Maybe you are looking for
